    Erosion naturally occurs through heavy rains, wind and water moving soil from one area to another. Humans contribute to faster erosion by cutting down plants and trees, and through large farms with many animals. Erosion impacts humans by reducing topsoil needed to grow crops, lowering crop nutrition and reducing the amount that can be grown. Erosion also impacts the environment by washing polluted soil into water systems, contaminating rivers, lakes and other bodies of water.

    Erosion

    What Is Erosion?
    Heavy rains, wind and water naturally erode soil moving it from
    one area to the next.

    How Humans Impact Erosion


    Humans contribute to erosion by cutting down trees, shrubs and
    other plants. This makes the process of erosion happen faster.
    Large farms with many animals also contribute to erosion.

    How Erosion Impacts Humans


    Topsoil may be lost through erosion, which
    is the best for growing plants. Without this
    topsoil the crops that are grown in it have
    less nutrients. With less soil, not as many
    crops can be grown.

    How Erosion Impacts the Environment


    Erosion causes soil to be washed into our water systems. This soil
    may contain fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. This pollutes
    our rivers, lakes and other water systems.
